Song of the Day - June 6, 2006

The Demolition Doll Rods remind me of some strange hybrid of The Stooges, Joan Jett, and Jimi Hendrix. This Detroit band takes inspiration from Hendrix's version of the "Star Spangled Banner" and reworks "Amazing Grace." Taken from their latest album, There Is a Difference, the song takes a rock-a-billy beat and distorted guitars, to create the most original version of "Amazing Grace" I have ever heard. The guitars are scorching, Margaret's vocals are whiskey tinged, and the song rocks like you wouldn't believe. Click
